Why not, it's just a color.

I can't believe this is still being discussed. Obviously he has had 2 rough starts in a row. It happens. Overall he has been at least average this year, with a bit of bad luck. If he continues to look bad this month, you have to at least think about it. But, right now it is out of the question to think that Matusz should be sent down.

Well, I do agree he should have at least one more start, but if he once again gets knocked out by the third inning and only hits 88 MPH I think I wouldn't wait around.

I am not claiming he is fixed yet, but he looked night and day better and in fact has his best major league outing EVER after going back down. If if worked for him, --- I'm just saying!:eek:

Why do you assume that his best major league outing was DUE to his time in Norfolk?

I'm just asking.

He was recalled before to make a start and laid an egg. Was that due to his time in Norfolk?

The last time he was working on his two seamer (I believe) and change up. I didn't hear that the first time he went down. I just think if Matusz continues to look and perform so poorly it might do him better to work out his issues in Norfolk where there is less pressure. If you think those boos from the fans didn't effect this young kid, I think you would be wrong.

I don't know if any manly man should ever post a statement like that, and I am not being a wise acre. If I were you I think I would delate that statement and I will forget I ever saw it!

Yeah Wedge, don't be a sissy. For the love of GOD, "delate" that statement!!!:D

I hope he is not that delicate a little flower. Every pitcher gets booed now and then.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
